Jobs, Canada down, U.S. Up

[Hamloc]

Looking at the headlines today I see Canada lost 71000 jobs in November, after losing only 1800 in October, pushing the unemployment rate fron 5.5% to 5.9% compared to the U.S. which added 266000 thousand jobs with an unemployment rate of 3.5%. Now I don't get too excited about month to month variations but after reading various articles on yesterday's throne speach it could be the start of a trend imo. Trudeau's main concern is climate change, it would appear that he believes his path back to a majority is through policies related to climate change. I can certainly appreciate that he believes there is little room for him to add seats in the west and he is probably right but this month's job report showed the biggest job losses in Quebec, in his favoured backyard, should give him something else to think about. Enjoy your day.

Let's all encourage trudeau to continue down the path of destruction he is on. It only adds fuel to the separatism fire. At this rate, even Chuck will be a hard core separatist soon.

[SASKFARMER]

Even chuck will eventually want to separate.

I’ll say it again the Trudeau has no idea how to run a country

But ruin a country they are well on

I have a question.....I have been cutting ice for a month ....its 8 inches thick on the dugout....

So if we have ice that thick wouldn't it be building in the arctic now or are temperatures still above zero up there?

And didn't AL gore say we would be using the northern ports regularly by now?...

Last boat out of churchill was November 7....

Don't ask inconvenient questions... Just remember that everything can now be blamed on global warming, and it will all make sense.

Not a problem, everything will be solved with an increasing Carbon Tax, don’t worry. Good for the economy Trudeau and McKenna tell us.

Astonishing U.S. job creation of 266,000 jobs in November well above average trader estimates going into Friday’s report was apparently aided by 41,000 GM workers returning to work. These are not fresh, new manufacturing jobs. Recent U.S. manufacturing data has shown a slowdown stateside.

Also, interesting data showing U.S. labour force participation rate actually declined to 62.4%.

But as soon as robust (on-the-surface) data was released, algorithms took over . . . triggering a powerful buying wave. We may be in for some heavy volatility straight ahead, as human logic gradually kicks in.

Did the article say how many were in Alberta? Kenney seems to be rather chop happy.

Errol . . . . as human logic gradually kicks in, it can be an excruciating slow process for some.

[SASKFARMER]

So Errol, if the 40000 GM workers were included the number, is still a new 226000 and skippy lost 70000 please explain
